The Clock's Hands Getting Closer

When values and morality are seen as weakness
With having ideals and hope a form of blindness
Fighting the current moral decay, effort ceaseless
Ask why darkness, when it is easier to show kindness
Trapped by the momentum sucked into the vacuum
Modernity is a means to an end, inertia our progress
Selfishness and rage lead to nothing, to our doom
The future is unwritten, we are living in an abscess
Where our efforts are simply to survive
And our world shakes in the emptiness
The doomsday clock hands click closer
To the moment preceding the end of time
And we enter the tomb
